We were a little over an hour past the pickup time and they had returned the car to inventory. It took 90 minutes for a new car to arrive and it then had 1/2 tank of diesel but since we did not see the car before getting in I signed it was full as that was what the driver said. We did get £30 refund for the half tank of car upon return.

The delay was half a day. I asked the store how much extra I would need to pay for a half-day delay, and they told me it would be the price of an additional day. When I got to the store, the price for that extra day was nearly 60 pounds. If they had told me this high price earlier, I wouldn't have chosen to be late. It's a rip-off.

I had a reservation to pick up the car at 3 PM. I called the rental company at 9 AM to confirm if there were any issues with the pick-up. To my surprise, they said there were no cars available and that my reservation had been canceled! This was shocking as all my plans, including hotel and flight tickets, were already booked, and I had six pieces of luggage with three people. It would have been impossible to move around without a car in a foreign country. Fortunately, the customer service at the rental platform was very responsible and quickly arranged another car. However, instead of the Mercedes C-Class I had paid for, I got a Mercedes A-Class. Even though they promised a refund for the difference, driving a smaller car with a lot of luggage for four days was quite inconvenient. I can only describe the car rental company HERTZ as 'terrible,' and I advise everyone to be cautious when renting from HERTZ in the future.

Didn't get the model promised on the website. The cigarette lighter power outlet didn't work. After driving 100 kilometers, the car indicated it needed AdBlue. I bought £12 worth of urea and added it using a homemade tube (only to find out later that the urea bottle had its own tube). I didn't keep the receipt but took a photo and didn't want to negotiate with the rental company, so I discussed it with the booking platform instead.
